Numerical modeling of gas-phase kinetics in formation of secondary aerosol

Three basic modules of gas-phase photochemical reactions involved in the formation of secondary aerosol are developed for modeling the concentration variation of precursors of aerosol, including ketone (RCOx), aldehyde (ALD), peroxyacetylnitrate (PAN), NO2, and SO2, followed by numerical solution for each of the modules. Reasonable trends of concentration variation of the precursors can be obtained from the proposed modules.
